The answer to Doug's question is that sometimes people don't want to choose. Sometimes you just want someone to choose for you. And that's why radio and TV still exists. That and sports... to be honest it's probably mostly the sports thing.

Well whenever I find a discussion about television, the majority of people are either saying that they don't pay for cable anymore, or only get cable for sports nowadays.While here in Britain, everyone my age is sick and tired of the TV licence, and instead prefers the much cheaper (and arguably better) alternatives such as NetFlix.

Give it about sixty years, and I bet the BBC will be struggling to make ends meet.
